[WG1] Dynamic Control and Edge Computing

[WG1-4] Bare-Metal Compute, Storage and Networking in Metro Optical Access

Invited

〇Paul Gunning (BT Applied Research, UK)

Keywords:O1. Core/Access /Data Center Networks and Subsystems, P2. Photonics in Switching Technologies, Systems, and Architectures for Computing and BigData.

Forwarding-, control-, and management-plane disaggregation with OpenAPIs offer automation of compute, storage and networking resources across optical carrier-switched and electronic packet-switched domains. Open, bare-metal hardware outfitted with merchant silicon hosting open software reduce barriers to entry and have deep historical roots in computer evolution in the last century. History may be about to repeat itself.
